March Madness Party Drink and Food Calculator

For a four-hour March Madness party with 100 guests, a full bar comes to 13 cases of beer, 6 bottles of wine, 6 bottles of spirits, and 2 bottles of champagne, about 364 drinks in total. Beer carries most of that weight at 56.5 percent, since a game-day crowd usually reaches for a can between plays instead of waiting on a pour. Spirits take 26.1 percent, wine 13 percent, and champagne barely factors in at 4.3 percent. The total scales to about 105 drinks at 25 guests and 677 at 200, moving beer from 4 cases to 24.

Food scales alongside it: treating the spread as the main dish for the same 100 guests calls for 48 pizzas, 123 pounds of wings, 25 dozen tacos, 30 dozen sliders, 32 platters of appetizers, and 33 pounds of pulled pork. Tournament games run back to back, and guests tend to filter in and out over the afternoon rather than show up all at once.
